"in she emmpie shown, ehe senderd is adapted to he secured. to an ohjee.- 5, und to assume en uprighposition Wit.' respect thereto 1:the damp ifi comprising e bod Y orion 5 oi iii-she; e i screw- 6 the y u 1 -g a shank oi which is iii sereW-mresded engegemee with one :iris T of body 5"; end, e

disk S es one persio-n of inhe screw 6. 1ihe oher arm Q of body 5 is secured to che levier portion of standard A., Webs being provided in reiainiig she stenaizuro'll rigid *with the Chimp. if desired, s. pad 11 may he secured io Jshe under side of arm 9,

Whiie the disk 8 may he provided with padding lf2 on iis upper fe-ee the pads to 'engage the object J, finish thereof.

fleeting shutties es new constructed embody a. drum 13, which receives the thread, and side pistes ligand l5, seeured to the eijidsn of the drum, adapted to reisin the thread in opere'ive felation to said drum. The si de pistes l and are each arcuate in their normal condition, end with their end portions nearest s piene passing transversely through the eehiei of ehe drum.

in order ha bhe thread may be properly Wound about the drum 13, the carrier C is provided zuid includes an eiongeted disk-16, and means designaed genersiiy by character i7, for springing one of the side pistes, that desigheed i5. in the exemple shown, oi' the tnttihg shuttie., against :i fece o the disk. means i7 may comprise two members i8 and i9, each movable iongitudirialiy of one fece of the disk 16, and provided with extensions 2O projecting beyond the other ieee of th'edisk at the end portions thereof, seidexeiisions adapted *to embrace the end por'mons of the piste l5 of he tstting shutjde; and, e device 2 adapted to heid the members i8 and i9 in s rigid adjusted position. The device 21 may consist of a screwhreaded suh-spindie carried by the 'face of dish' i5 against which the members 18 and l@ slide, seid' spindle extending through sios .Z2 and 23 in seid members, respeciiveiy, and e. ihumb nos 225.- turned upon said spihdie adapted to heid the members 18 and 19 in binding engagement one to the oher :uid with respeetto the dish i6. The member 2G inev he 'provided Wish mi eighgated sioiv 'for e purpose to be subsequentiy sei. forth.

The device i3 comprises a. shaft 26 extending ranverseiy hrough the upper portion of siienderd A, seid shaft having the eel-rior C secured to iis one end poi'ion as hy lbeing rigid with disk 16, and exiending through 'die sisi 25 oi member i9; end, e crank 27' to preven merriiig of the rigidwith the other portion of shaft 26.

It' desired, washers 28 and 29 may be interposed between the crank 27 and standard A, and the carrier C and said standard.

The thread guide may be of any suitable type, and in the example shown is rigid with standard A, and provided with an eye 30, the axis of which is in a plane parallel and in close proximity to the face of disk 1G opposite ilo device 17.

As to the thread carrier E, it may consist ot' a spindle rigid with standard A., and extending from the same face'ther'etd as guide G, while the devices F may comprise two collars 31, provided with set-screws 32, said Collars' slidable longitudinally oit the spool holder, and adapted to be moved and secured with their confronting faces in frictional engagement with the spool.

The operation of the winder is as follows:

The outermost device F is removed, and the spool is placed upon holder E. The thread is drawn from the spool through eye 3() of guide G, and made secure to drum 13 ot' the tatting shuttle in any suitable manner. The tatting shuttle is then disposed with its one side plate, that designated 15 in the example shown, against the disk 16, the end portions of said plate disposed in the extensions 2.0 so that the latter embrace said end portions. This is followed by adjusting the members 18 and 19 over the face ot' disk 16, Ilongitudinally thereof, until 'the drum 1B is in substantial alineinent with the axis of shaft 26, after which the thumb nut 2l is turned tight. The one plate ol the shuttle is sprung against one face of the disk 16, and the shuttle is held rigid with carrier C. By imparting movement to the carrier vas through crank 27, the thread is wound upon the shuttle.

assesses 'it highly desirable that the extensions Z0 have no sharp edges, although it is to he observed that the openings between the end portions ot' the plates of the tatting shuttle are considerably larger when. the shuttle is in operative relation to the carrier, and the thread guide so arranged as to direct the run of thread so as to not engage the members of the carrier, or the plates of the shutle. lt is to be observed further that the carrier is seeptible of holding shuttles ot' \arying sizes.

Changes in details may be made without departing from the spirit or scope oi my invention; but

l claim:

1. A carrier for tatting shuttles comprising in combination, an elongated disk, a member movable longitudinally of one face of said disk and provided with an extension projecting beyond the other face of said disk, at one end portion thereof, said extension adapted to embrace one end portion of one side plate of the tatting shuttle, a device for holding said4 movable member in an adjusled positioinand a device car-- rie-d by said disk at its other end portion adapted to embrace the other end portion of the said plate of said tatting shuttle.

2. carrier tor talting shuttles comprising iii combination, an elongated disk, two members movable longitudinally of one face of said disk, each member provided with an extension projecting beyond the other face of said disk, said extensions at opposite end portions of said disk, and adapted to embrace the end portions of one side plate of the tatting shuttle, vand a device #for holding said members in an adjusted position.
